Lotus Lmp2 Third Day At The 6 Hours Of Fuji

#31 Thomas Holzer (GER) – Mirco Schultis (GER)

#32 Kevin Weeda (USA) – James Rossiter (GBR) – Vitantonio Liuzzi (ITA)

 

Race

#32 Position 5

#31 retired

 

The 6 Hours race of Fuji started off well for Lotus when Vitantonio Liuzzi took the lead in LMP2 class. Car #32 was in second position for half of the race. But after several contacts with competitors, a stop and go penalty and a Stewards request to change the rear end, the team lost positions in the last three hours of the race. Nevertheless, after all these incidents, the team managed to finish the race with car #32 in fifth position.

 

Car #31 had to retire because of a failure of the alternator. Until then, Thomas Holzer and Mirco Schultis showed a strong performance and climbed up to sixth position in LMP2 class.

 

All in all, it was a promising weekend for Lotus as the team is able to fight for the podium. The team is now heading to the season final in Shanghai and wants to have another good result with both cars.

 

Thomas Holzer, Race driver #31:

“Unfortunately, we had to retire after the alternator failed. Until then, we had a good race and showed a good performance. We have to focus now on the next and final race of the season. Hopefully we can have a better result in China.”

 

Vitantonio Liuzzi, Race driver #32:

“I had a good start and was first in LMP2 class for a while. But then I was hit a several times by some other cars and lost many positions. After this, I was able to make up for positions again and was back in second place. It is a shame that we did not finish on the podium but with these damages it was not possible today.”

  • Toxic Green S-Cup - (Aka Grogu)

    Hi all as with most of my cars I thought I’d start a bit of a build thread. However unlike most cars which I bought and built up to be highly modified the plans for the lotus are quite different and so this will be more thread of its life in my ownership. I have also created a Facebook page called “Toxic Green S-Cup - (Aka Grogu)” containing images of its progress pre and post purchase.

    What a great Lotus in the Peaks 2025

    I have to say, I have got back home late Sunday afternoon and was spent, god only knows how Ray felt.  A great success too, by the whole team. What an absolutely fabulous day, nah weekend. There was great company at the BBQ, with a good range of Lotus gracing the village square. The Pootle on Saturday took us to the beautiful Carsington Water, on a beautiful Summer afternoon via beautiful roads not being used for the next days big event, so I am told, I took a wrong turn and found
